Man Utd’s top transfer target in the summer of 2023 is said to be in the striker position.
Manchester United are required to sign a striker this summer. This became even more apparent as Anthony Martial was sidelined for most of the season through injury.
Meanwhile, Wout Weghorst is the only option of the team in the position of a striker. Weghorst was only asked to borrow until the end of the season. In addition, the Dutch player also did not meet the requirements for the ability to score.
Therefore, the solution to bring in a new striker in the summer transfer window will be necessary for Manchester United. The Red Devils soon put Victor Osimhen on the shortlist. The Telegraph confirmed that coach Erik ten Hag has been following the striker since the beginning of the season
In addition, Man Utd also pursues Randal Kolo Muani of Eintracht Frankfurt. Notably, Kylian Mbappe highly appreciates his compatriot player.
Specifically, Mbappe shared: “Muani is a striker who brings different options to the team. He is very comprehensive and has impressive performance.”
Muani made his debut for France against Austria in the Nations League last fall and scored his first goal for Les Bleus against Morocco in the 2022 World Cup semi-final. The player recently started both Euro 2024 qualifying matches. when France defeated the Netherlands and Ireland respectively.
Muani impressed in both matches and is expected to be the mainstay of France’s attack in the coming years. The 24-year-old has been in brilliant form since joining Frankfurt last summer.
To this point, he has scored 16 goals and provided 14 assists in 35 matches for the Bundesliga club. He, along with Lionel Messi or Bukayo Saka, are rare players to reach the milestone of 10 goals and 10 or more assists at the same time in the top 5 European tournaments this season.
There is information that Muani’s price is up to 120 million euros. Last month, L’Equipe reported that United were among the clubs interested in signing the player.
Muani also admits that his “dream” is to play for one of Europe’s strongest teams. “We’ve talked about it a lot, but I try to focus on my club,” Muani said.
Man United seem to have put the bad things behind them this season and could finish fourth in the Premier League. The Red Devils also won the Carabao Cup and are competing in both the FA Cup and Europa League arenas.
That shows, Man Utd is an ambitious team under Erik ten Hag. If they continue to play as well as they are now, the opportunity for Man Utd to recruit Muani is very possible. And with Mbappe appreciating this player, Man Utd probably understand that this is the type of striker they need.
